Not true -- a port "scan" is an actual attempt to enter.

Flawed analogy -- you are calling a number in an attempt to communicate
with a person. A port scan is an attempt to connect to a computer
without communicating with the responsible person.

There's a bigger difference that -- 'ping' is an accepted service that
is not a port scan. Feel free to ping me (within reason); just don't
'scan' me.
